Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - West Berlin, NJ.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near West Berlin where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
